This Company is established for the purpose of purchasing the property and continuing the business of the well known 'Oxford and Canterbury Music Halls, so successfully con ducted by the present proprietor, Mr. Charles Morton, for several years past. The Directors, in bringing the present Company before the public, are not inviting subscriptions to an unknown or un tried venture, but to an established and highly remunerative undertaking, and one which, with the additional means at the command of a Joint-stock Company, may be made still more so. An agreement has been entered into for the purchase of the whole of Mr. Morton's interest in these properties, together with the goodwill of the business and the stock in trade, on terms highly advantageous to the Company, and in order to show his confidence in its future success, he has subscribed for one-fourth of the entire capital, and will continue for acme years the manager. It is the intention of the Company to increase the hotel : accommodation, which has hitherto been found inadequate, and thus materially add to the present large returns. here is also an excellent private wine trade attached to both establishments, which is capable of considerable extension. It is impossible to show, with certainty, presetatistics, the returns which may be expected from theunder taking, but the certified accounts for the last three years :show an annual profit of upwards of to per cent, upon the Whole amount of capital, which it is matemplated eventually to call up, The present average attendanr,e at the Oxford and Canter bury Music Halls is about 6 0 . 1 .500 a month, and the proposed •ext ension of business will d.'ditbtless render the profits of the undertaking still more remunerative thane ver.

The " Curly" Cannel of a small district in Flintshire yields it larger per-ventage of crude mineral oil, containing para ffin, than any cannel yet discovered. This oil, although only slightly inferior in quality to the Celebrated petroleum of Pennsylvania, can be produced with profit at less than one-third the cost of the latter delivered fn this country, whilst the refined oil distilled from the "Curly" Cannel commands nearly the same price as the re fined American article. From this mineral oil are produced spirits of turpentine substitute, burning oil, lubricating oil of three varieties, solid paraffin, and g r ease o f several kinds. All these articles, When of good quality, find a ready market. The three processes, namely, raising the cannel, distilling the 0,1, and refining. it, have hitherto been made three dis tinct and separate businesses, involving three different ma nagements, with their attendant expenses. This Company is formed to distil and refine oil from can nel procured from its own mine ; it will thus unite three businesses, from each of which large profits are now made. By this combination, and by having the command df ample capital and perfect processes, the Company will be enabled to conduct a large trade to the greatest advantage, and thus insure profits considerably in excess even of those now being realised, either from the manufacture or refining of oil in this country, or from its importation from any known source. In furtherance of these objects the purchase has been con cluded of the well-known works of the Mineral 'Oil Com pany at Saltney (near Chester), and Leeswood, in Flintshire, and also of the Freehold Cannel and Coal Mines, Works, and other property of the Tryddyn Oil and Coke Company, contiguous to the Leeswood Works of the Mineral Oil Com- Parry. The Company will thus at once enter into a well-estab lished, lucrative, and rapidly increasing business, with com plete works in full operation and with organised agencies, and Will at the same time acquire a freehold mine of well known value, on terms which will enable the Company to supply themselves with cannel of superior quality, at about one fourth of the present price. The purchase from the Mineral Oil Company also includes an existinc, contract which will e ntitle this Company to a supply of 100 tons per day of "curly" cannel from the well-known Leeswood Green Col liery, for 22 years from 1860, at a price considerably below its present market value. The Price to be paid for the whole of the properties so purchased will not exceed £160,000, payab le b y insta lments. _ The proprietors of the Mineral Oil Company and of Vie Tryddyn Oil and Coke Company subscribe s, large proportion of the capital. thTel'atent rights claimed by Messrs. young and Co. for in 0 manufacture of paraffin oil from coal will expire do her next ; in the meantime the operations of . the Company will be C onfinedfrin gement to substances which will not involve any in- In the eveu f t the rights alluded to. of purpose of pavi an y further imiue of shares (except for the first be offere for additional property), such shares w being. d pro rata to the shareholders for the time Messrs.

TEMPORARY OFFICES. 29, Threadneedle-street, E.C. PROSPECTUS. This Bank is founded on the basis of the well-known and old established Firms of Pastre Freres and G. Sinadino and Co., of Alexandria, under the following circumstances : The trade and commerce of Egypt, which have been for a series of years steadily increasing, are now raised by the change in the cotton trade, caused by the American war, into first rate importance, and corresponding banking and finan cial facilities are requited. The export value of the cotton crop of Egypt for the pre sent year is estimated at £17,000,000 ; the population is now from 5,000,000 to 6,000.000. The financial position of the country is most flourishing, all the elements of wealth and Prosperity are rapidly expanding - , and an extensive field is opened for pablio wurks and industrial under aktngs of all kinds. The situation of Egypt, half way between England and India, makes it also an important station for a large portion of the exchange and other financial operations connected with the immense trade between Europe and the East. The Agra and Masterman's Bank, having a leading posi tion both in Eng and and India, has felt th:, advantage which would result from havimr an i dependerg, A genc y i n Egypt, while a great amount of financial Inv. industrial busi ness, not falling within the scope of or'..inary banking* opera tions, will afford huge profits in --- a country where capital commands such a high rate interest, to an Institut on act ing in connexion with tte General Credit and Finance Com pany of London and. its influential Continental allies. Under these f '-vourable circumstances an opportunity has presented itself of foundin g a p ower f u l B an ki ng an d Finan cial CprlK , ration, with a ready-made business and first-rate local ltaluenee and connections, by a transfer of the two establishments of Messrs. Pastre Freres and G. Sinadino and Co., who have for many years had the honour of trans acting banking and mercantile business on account of the Government of Egypt and of his Highness the Viceroy. A satisfactory agreement has been made with Messrs Pastre and S nadino for merging the whole of the business of these two establishments in this Bank, with the premises occupied by them, and the entire staff of their intelligent and expe rienced employes. Messrs. p ules Pastre and G. Sinadino, who are now at the head of the establishments in Egypt, and under whose ma nagement they have a tt a i ne d th e i r present great prosperity, will continue to supekintend the operations of the new bank in that country, concert with English gentlemen of first rate banking experience, while the Financial Agency of the ar Masterman's Bank, and of the General Credit and Fir 'ance Company of London, will ensure to this Bank the mil advantages of banking in London, India, and through out the Continent of Europe. The Anglo-Egyptian Bank will thus possess the immense advantage of entering at once upon a business in full acti vity, yield' , g large profits, with the co-operation of gentle men who are intimately acquainted with the usages of the country, and who have for a long series of years retained the confidence of the Government and of the mercantile commu nity in Europe and the East. The Memorandum and Articles of Association and Copy of the Agreement with Messrs. Pastre and Sinadino, will lie for inspection at the Offices of the Solicitors, 20, Austin- friars. - A large proportion of the Capital is already subscribed. Subscripi ions for the remaining Shares will be received by the Agra and Masterman's Bank, 35, Ni3holas-lane ; by the General Credit and Finance Company of London, 7, Loth bury ; and by Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, the Brokers of the Company, where Prospectuses and Forms of Application may be obtained.

The great business of the day was the contest between the members of the Houses of Lords and Commons, seven shots each, at 200 and 500 yards. The following were representatives of each branch of the Legislature : House of Lords—Ducie, Eldon, Lismore, Suffield, Vernon, Abercorn, Aberdeen, Airlie, Bolton, Duf ferin, and Spencer. House of Commons—Lord Elcho, Mr. Dillwyn, Mr. Vivian, Mr. Malcolm, Mr. Humberston, Lord Bury, Lord Grosvenor, Capt. Hon. H. Wyndham, Mr. Talbot, Mr. Forster, and Hon. W, E. Dan combs. The match was appointed to take place at three o'clock, but long before that time arrived hundreds of carriages, filled with fashionable company, came on the ground, and made their way towards the firing point at the 200 yards range, where the pro ceedings were to take place, in expectation of the Royal visitors. At twenty-five minutes to four o'clock a shout in the disrance proclaimed the ap proach of the Royal party, and in a few minutes afterwards the carriages containing the Princess of Wales and the Hon. Mrs. Stonor, preceded by Lord Elcho and other members of the council, came upon the ground. The Prince of Wales, who was at. tended by Colonel Grey, immediately followed on horseback, and was received with' loud cheers by the assembled crowd. The flag of the National Rifle Association was hauled down, and the Royal Standard hoisted in its place. They drove directly to the firing range, and the whole party took their seats in the tent, and the band of the Victories playing the National Anthem. The Princess of Wales was attended by the Hon. Mrs. Stonor in waiting, and accompanied by the Duchess of Man. cheater, Lady Constance Grosvenor, the Countess Spencer, and Lady Elcho. The Prince of Wales was attended by Colonel Grey, and accompanied by the Duke of Sutherland, Lord Elcho and several other members of the council. For the information of our lady readers we may state that the Princess wore a black satin dress, white lace mantle, white straw hat, with a deep black border and white feathers. The shooting soon afterwards commenced, but it was evident that the Lords were gaining a great advantage over the Commoners, for the shooting of the Earl D acie was first-rate ; at 200 yards he made 6 bull's eyes and 1 centre in seven shots, counting 27, while at the 500 yards he was almost equally successful, making 5 bull's eyes and 2 centres, count ing 20. The firing at this range having been brought to a close, the Royal party, accompanied by the coun cil, proceeded to the 500 yards, where they again received a very cordial greeting, and the company was here more numerous than at the other stage. As the day appeared to be against members of the Lower House they seemed determined if possible to regain the position they last year occupied, but, as the result turned out, in vain, the Lords winning by a majority of 464 to 424. As soon as this was brought to a close the Prince and Princess of Wales were escorted by Lord Elcho to the Exhibition Tent, where the different articles intended to be given as prizes were displayed, and which they carefully examined. They afterwards inspected the stalls for optical instruments of Messrs Barron, of Malvern; Mr Steward, of the Strand; Messrs Elkington, and Messrs Hancock, and re mained for a considerable time examining the dis play of articles exhibited by Messrs Mappin and Webb, of Oxford•street, the Princess enpressing her gratification at some articles of a domestic use, but presented in a unique and elegant form. After the Prince and Princess had left the Exhi bition Tent they were conducted by Lord Echo to the Royal 'rent opposite to the Cottage, where they partook of refreshment, and shortly before seven o'clock they quitted the common amidst the most enthusiastic cheering, the band of the London Scottish playing " God bliss the Prince of Wales." During the whole time there were several thou sands of persons present, and nothing could be more excellent than the arrangements made by the police on the occasion for securing the comfort of all. They were under the able direction of Superintendent Butt, and Inspectors Bryant, Denning, and Hare, and even the sergeants were animated by the same desire to give every facility in their power for all to be accommodated to the fullest extent. The band of the Victories and London Scottish played throught the afternoon, and the Prince ex pressed the pleasure he had experienced, and invited them to attend that evening at White Lodge, Richmond Park, and play there during dinner. Some extraordi eery shooting was made by Capt. Heaton, of the 3d Manchester, one of the com petitors for the Association Cup. Ho fired tea times, five at 200 yards, and five at 600 yards, the most that could be made, counting 40, but as he w as winner of the cup last year he is precluded from taking it again, and he receives but honour for his pains.

As the meeting of the National Rifle Association progresses it is naturally intensified in interest, partly on account of the important events which have been already decided, and partly on account of those yet to come; but the absorbing feature of this day's proceedings was the anticipated visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to witness the contest between 11 picked members of the House of Lords and a similar number from the House of Commons. From the opening of the business for the day every thing betokened that the royal visit was the first con sideration, and preparations were made accordingly. As the competition between these branches of the Legislature was to take place at the respective stages of 200 and 500 yards, workmen were busily engaged in pitching and decorating two large tents at each firing point for the accommodation of the royal party. The grass under the tents was covered with scarlet cloth, and powerful tales. copes, manufactured by Messrs. Barrow, of Great Malvern, Mr Steward, of the Strand, and Mr Ross, of Featherstone-buildings, Holborn, were placed there for the use of the Prince and Princess, and the ladies and gentlemen in their suite. The following events were included in the pro gramme of the day :—Sighting for the second stage of the Queen's, at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards. The International Enfield Match between England and Scotland, 20 on each side, at 200, 500, and 600 yards. The Chancellor's Challenge Plate, value £lOO, to be shot for by volunteers of the Oxford and Cambridge University Corps, 7 shots each, at 200, 500, and 600 yards. The 4th series of extra prizes at 800 yards. The ties to be shot for the Ist and 2d stages of the Alexandra Prizes. The Ist stage of the Albert Prize, for prizes amounting to £7OO, open to:all comers, 5 shots at 200, 500, and 600 yards. Earl de Grey and Ripon's Prizes, value £lOO, divided into 34 prizes, open to all corners, 5 shots at 600 yards. The " Any Rifle Association Cup," at 200 and 600 yards. The City of London Prizes for efficient volunteers, pool, sweepstakes, sighting targets, running deer, &c. The first business of the day was to shoot off the ties that were ruado for the St. George's Challenge Vase and the other prizes that were giien in con nexion with it.

Having made thi s excellent score , he pro ceeded to the firing point for the fourth series of extra prizes, also at the same range of 600 yards, and made three bull's eyes and two centres, count ing 18, with five shots.

TYNi f Monday. , t , l A splendid day has drawn a large \number oft-;itt visitors, including many ladies, though the admis.l sion fee is half-a-sovereign ; evidently, public judg4 ing of the live stock and free admittance to mem bers is working well for the funds of the Society. To day the implement stands are passed by ; the company flocking to the long lines of shedding, where ,the prize tickets are being nailed up over stalls and pens, and critics assemble around the winnirg beats and sheep. The main points of attraction have been the Judges' ring ; and Messrs. Wiley, Parkinson, and Robinson received specially marked attention throughout all their arduous ex. amination of the Shorthorns. The show of this breed is extraordinary both for numbers and quality. There are no less than 175 entries, and for general excellence altogether an unparalleled competition. In the aged bull class, Mr. Amos Cruickshank, of Sittytan, Aberdeensitire, wins the first priv with his bull Forth, which was the winner At the High- land Society's meeting at Kelso; cod Viscount Strathallan, of Auchterarder, Perthshire, takes the second place with his Fosco. Mr. Cruickshank's is a magnificent beast, with a Wonderful back and hips, a good head, and a fine coat. The judges were a long time over the 14 2-yr-old bulls, the final competition lying between Mr. Eastwood's The Hero, Mr. Peel's Abbot of Knowlemere, Mr. Gell's Master Goldschmidt and Royal Butterfly 11 of Mr. W. Stirliug, of Dunblane, Perthshire, which car. ried off the first prize. This bull was the first at Worcester la s t y ear. M r. P ee l' s s econd prize bull is straight, and good in the fore quarter, but his colour is not a good roan. Scotland is taking away many of the honours; but in this class the winning bull is of Colonel Towneley's breed. The class of yearling bulls is very well filled, and among the bull calves are several of superb character. We have never before had anything like so large and fine a show of shorthorn cows, heifers, and heifer calves, and the awards must necessarily be made too late in the day for announcement in the present report. Messrs. Franklin, Keary, and Gough had lighter work with the Herefords; but the show is ex tremely good, considering their long distance from home. Mr. Taylor's prize bull was third at Batter. sea meeting, and first at Worcester last year. Mr, Baldwin's prize two-year•old was first at Battersea meeting, and second at Worcester. Mr. Dackham wins in the yearling class, beating Mr. Wright, whose second prize bull was second as a calf last year. Mr Baldwin's prize heifer was second at Wor cester last year, and the prize yearling heifer of the same breeder was first on the same occasion. This affords an indication of the high character of the present show. Among Devons, Mr. W. Farthing, Major-General Hoste (with a bull and a heifer from the Royal farms), Mr. George Turner, and Mr. A. Smith are the prize -takers. The show is small, but of average excellence, This is the first year of the classes for Scotch cattle, and probably the fact had not been well advertised in North Britain—but still the show is full and creditable, The black gems in this depart ment are the animals of Mr. M'Combie of Tillyfour, Aberdeen, one of the polled cows having been the winner at Battersea. The Newcastle local prizes for Galloways have also brought a good competition. The Leicester sheep are in great force. Mr Barton, Mr Pawlet, and Mr Creswell are the prize -takers. The Cotswolds are not very numerous, but some grand specimens are exhibited, Mr Beale Brown and Mr Lane showing sheep of great merit. The Oxfordshire Downs make a large and fine class ; Mr George Wallis, of Farringdon, clearing off all the prizes ; and yet Mr Druce and Mr Chas. Howard have some good pens in competition. The South Downs are a good show, though not numerous, so far from their native haunts. Lord Walsingham has come with no fewer than 12 shear.. ling rams, taking first and second prizes ; and also prizes for ewes. Mr. Rigden takes third place in the shearling ram class, and the Duke of Richmond and Sir Thomas Leonard are Inwhere. The Shropshires also show exceedingly well ; and the Cheviots, "Black Lees, and Hordwicks make up rx very interesting feature of the meeting. The horse ring, a large oval space roped in and surrounded by horseboxes, has been an exciting scene from 8 o'clock this morning. The show is small, though in point of quality it stands well. Toe thoroughbreds aro fairly repre sented. The stud horses number 10—Littlecote, Gamester, who won the St. Leger, Carbineer, Lay• ton, Laughing-stock, with fine action, Buccaneer, Cavendish, the most perfect animal in the yard for power, quality, and style, Lord Chesterfield, Sir W. Scott, and Schuloft, Action settled the day in favour of Messrs. Moffitt's Laughing-stock (who wins the £lOO prize), who may be supposed to be more lively on his legs at 5 years of age than Cavendish (who takes the £25) or Gamester at 8. The hunter class is the speciality of the show. The 5,6, and 4 year old classes of mares or geldings are well sustained, and the adjudications seem to win the appreciation of all save the undistinguished exhibitors. There is clearly a leaning to more bone, and the judges have in view the production of horses up to weight; While the steam-plough trials have been going on (and they are not yet completed) the competition of horse-ploughs has attracted great interest—the picked ploughmen of all England (some of them with fancy teams well up in premium :plaughing, brought all the way from Suffolk and Bedford' shire) executing their score of furrows, which are to settle the championship among the polished mouldboards and blue beams and handles for three years to come. Out of the large number of exhig bitors in the field, the contest was close between the great firms, Messrs. Howard, of Bedford, and Messrs Ransomes and Sims, of Ipswich ; Busby, Hunt and Pickering, and one or two others coming up as good thirds and fourths, In ploughing tin. to 10in. deep, in light or stiff sOil, we do not per ceive any marked progress since the Warwick meets ing; and there are few improvements in details of the now perfected plough, by way of simplification or enhanced efficiency. It is very evident that local and smaller makers are unable to produce such ex quisite workmanship in cast and wrought metal as that sent out by the few great makers ; and whether you prefer a solid beam from Bedford, or a trussed beam from Ipswich, whether you choose to cut a flat and level furrow bottom or a sharp-angled furrow slice for the harrow, whether you seek a share to pierce deeply into the subsoil, a ridge-plough , a turnwrest, and so on, you can be equally we ll sup plied —no matter if the manufacturer cam e off first or second at this triennial Derby. The judges have divided the £3O " for the class of wheel ploughs" as follows :—£ls to Messrs. X. and F. Howard, fo r their general purpose plough; 108 to Me ssrs. - Ransomes and Sims, for thei r light land plough ; and £7 10s to the same firm , for their heavy land plough. The £3O for swing ploughs is divided thus: —ll5 to Messrs. Rans oms and Sims, for their heavy land plough; £7 10$ to the same firm for thei r li g ht and 10e to Mess rs , land plough ; M'Gregor and Humphrey, for their heavy land plough. Mr. Ben tall wins the prize of £lO for the subsoil plough; and Messrs. Hunt and Pickering the prize of £lO for their paring plough. 11 Iessrs. J. and F. Howard obtain three high commendati.ms for ploughs ; Messrs. Ransome and Sims one high commendation for a plough ; and a silver medal is awarded to Messrs. Hancock for their pulverizer plough. Grubbers and iva lf t cu ors preserve their old forms, with here and there an attempted improvement in the leverage of lifting and lowering into work. Coleman and Morton, Bentall, and Charles Clay are still the great names in this valuable class of mem chanism. Among clod crushers and rollers some singularities of construction are visible.
